Former\u00a0Minnesota Vikings\u00a0running back Adrian Peterson made recent comments suggesting he\u2019d be willing to play in the NFL for the 2024 season. His remarks came days after Peterson denied a report he was facing financial difficulties after\u00a0earning nearly $100 million\u00a0in his NFL career.<\/p>\n

\"Report:<\/p>\n

Adrian Peterson is dealing with financial issues in court<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this week, Brent Schrotenboer with USA Today reported Peterson is dealing with financial issues in court:<\/p>\n

But he hasn\u2019t played since 2021, the same year that a judge in New York entered an $8.3 million judgment against him stemming from an unpaid loan. Court records indicate he hasn\u2019t paid up since and instead has been ensnared in a legal battle over attempts to seize his property to collect on that judgment, including a fight over a piano and items that have been kept in multiple storage units.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, dozens of his personal items even were advertised for sale at\u00a0an auction in Texas, including his 2012 MVP trophy and his 2007 rookie of the year trophy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peterson\u00a0posted a video on X and said\u00a0his finances were \u201cstable,\u201d unlike what had been reported about him. Peterson said he was not trying to sell his MVP trophy or other such trophy items:<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not authorize the sale of any of my trophies, and I will be taking legal action,\u201d Peterson\u00a0said. \u201cTrusting this company without supervision was my mistake. We allowed them to go into several of our storage units with clear instructions. They clearly did something unlawful. I want to emphasize that I\u2019m financially stable and would never sell off my hard-earned trophies. And if I was gonna sell \u2019em, I know people that I could sell them to. I wouldn\u2019t go online and sell my personal items randomly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson could look to add to his bank account by playing football again. Per a video posted by CBS Sports, Peterson said he is \u201copen\u201d to returning to the league.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m game-ready right now,\u201d Peterson\u00a0said. \u201cI had to let my body recover. I had some injuries and stuff. My last injury was with Seattle\u2014I had a pinched nerve, and I didn\u2019t wanna go under the knife. It took about a year for that to finally heal, but I\u2019m always open to go out there and play again. We\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Vikings drafted Peterson in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He last played for the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0in the 2021 season. Peterson\u2019s last Pro Bowl season came in the 2015 season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
